Chapter 223: Maoqi loses his memory and falls into Xiangjia
After the Gushan tribe confirmed Gu Oriole's identity, they directly handed over the important task to her. There was another reason. The tribe leader was only announcing the decision on behalf of the elders meeting. Before handing over the command of the team to her, the position of the tribe leader did not have much importance.
power.
Dali did not expect that Gu Li would suddenly change and become the leader of the clan, and he suddenly felt a sense of distance. Unexpectedly, just after finishing the elders meeting, Gu Li found the big man and gave him a post with a long post, and it was her exclusive post.
Gu Li came to meet him and specially arranged accommodation and work for him, which made the sense of distance in Dali's heart disappear instantly. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the Gushan tribe did not stop there. As soon as he settled down, a group of people enthusiastically gave him things and warmth without asking any questions.
The question he was most interested in was about Mao Qi's deeds.
Gu Oriole was no exception. Before he had time to digest the sudden assumption of the position of clan leader, a group of people gathered around him regardless of their status or distinction between men and women, scrambling to find out the news about Mao Qi.
At this time, Maoqi was suffering in the wind, sun, rain and ice. In order to replenish his strength, he could only eat some young grass roots growing from the cracks in the rocks and drink some rainwater. When he was sleepy, he could only close his eyes and squint.
For a short while, I didn't dare to really fall asleep; and for a long time, I was in a state of cultivation, which greatly consumed my energy. The most uncomfortable thing was the hands. At this time, the nails of the ten fingers had long been worn away, and the skin and flesh were either calluses or flesh. It was said that the ten fingers were connected.
My heart is broken, and my fingers are no longer feeling.
The time on the cliff seemed extremely long, and Mao Qi gradually lost the concept of time, mechanically repeating the same actions every day. Although the strength of his hands became stronger and stronger, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his hands seemed to have no command.
machine. On a bright sunny day at noon, Mao Qi pulled out his right hand before inserting it into the rock. He also pulled out his left hand, and his whole body fell down instantly.
Mao Qi was in mid-air, his hands kept repeating the same thrusting movements, and the whistling wind in his ears was like a lullaby. A moment later, Mao Qi fell into a deep sleep before he even touched the ground. There was a muffled sound.
, Mao Qi, who fell to the ground, still didn’t wake up.
Mao Qi spent the spring, summer, autumn and winter on the cliff, a whole year of mental and physical tests. Unfortunately, he did not persist until the end; but he was relieved that he was only less than 100 meters away from the bottom of the valley.
The place where Mao Qi fell happened to be a piece of sand. Not far from the ground, there were busy figures of one large and one small. When they heard the sound, the two people quickly dropped what they were doing and came looking for the sound.
"Mom, could the thing that fell from the cliff be a wild boar or something else edible?" A boy about thirteen or fourteen years old asked with a slightly excited voice.
"I hope so." A thin woman with a weathered face said with expectation.
"That must be it. Dad also said that he once picked up a big wild boar here." The little boy said happily.
After saying that, the little boy sped up.
"Mom, come quickly!"
Hearing the little boy's surprised scream, the woman also quickened her pace. But when she got closer, she saw that it was a human being.
"Mom, what should I do?"
The woman circled around Mao Qi, then plucked up her courage, and carefully put her hand to Mao Qi's nostrils. She was startled by Mao Qi's breathing again, and quickly retracted her hand. The unfamiliar face, the scumbag.
The beard, disheveled hair, and naked body made the women a little frightened.
"Not dead yet." The woman said with a complicated heart.
The little boy looked up at the cliff, which was so high that it couldn't reach the top. He was stunned for a long time before sighing: "It's so high that he can't fall to his death. What a fate. Mom, let's take him home. If he is left here, he will be eaten by wild beasts."
of."
While the woman was still hesitating, the little boy had already taken off his clothes and covered Mao Qi.
This woman's name is Zhu Xiu, a poor woman who can barely make ends meet. The boy's name is Xiangdan. Although Xiangdan is young, he is very strong. After getting Zhu Xiu's permission, he put a knot on his back and went to the village.
It was not possible to leave the house without saving him, but Zhu Xiuke couldn't do it, not to mention the lack of labor at home.
The house of Zhu Xiu's family is very simple, and there are constant coughing sounds in the simple room; outside the house, a lame girl about sixteen or seventeen years old with a handsome face is busy.
Suddenly there was an extra person, which became a big event in the family. At this time, the family was sitting around a bed covered with hay. Zhu Xiu briefly introduced what happened.
The person lying on the bed coughing was Zhu Xiu's husband named Xiangshan. After hearing the introduction, he was the first to express his opinion: "The situation at home is such that we can't afford to support another person. When he wakes up, we can give him a full meal."
, let him go."
"Judging from his appearance, he is probably a hard-working man. Although he is a bit slovenly and a bit thin and short, he has a good physique and is not too old, so I want to keep him. Pearl is not young anymore, and her feet are not strong anymore."
It's convenient, I want to betroth Zhu'er to him." Although Zhu Xiu didn't know martial arts, the muscles on Mao Qi's body were still admirable, so he said straightforwardly.
"Mother!" the lame girl called Zhu'er shouted shyly, her face turned red and she stopped talking.
"This won't work. If he is also disabled, or is disabled by being thrown, the family will not be able to support him; and we don't know his background. What if he gets into trouble?" Xiangshan shook his head and coughed.
, while saying intermittently.
"Then wait until he wakes up and ask about the situation first." Zhu Xiu still did not give up the idea of letting Mao Qi marry him.
The reason why Zhu Xiu had this idea was because she did not want her daughter to be taken over by the bully Hutou. This bully wanted to take over Zhu Er a few years ago and even planned to hurt her husband. In order to protect her father, her daughter accidentally injured her leg.
Because there was no money for medical treatment, one fell ill and the other became disabled. If it weren't for the village guard's upholding justice at that time, Pearl would have fallen into the tiger's mouth; but now the bully Hu Tou has become the new village guard, and Pearl has started fighting again.
Son's idea.
"Oh, by the way, Hu Tou came here again just now and wants us to pay the grain tax to the village in a week." When talking about the grain tax, Xiangshan also had a sad look on his face.
No one wanted to mention the heavy topic, so Zhu Xiu responded and began to clean up the food at home, hoping to raise enough food tax.
Xiangshan and his wife did not bother Mao Qi, because they were so worried about the food problem that they could not spare any time. Mao Qi slept for five days. During this period, only Zhu Xiu also secretly visited Mao Qi, but because Mao Qi
Qi hasn't had his hair trimmed or shaved in a year, and his appearance can't be clearly seen.
When Mao Qi woke up from a deep sleep, he looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and couldn't think of anything at all. It turned out that because he couldn't sleep for a long time, in order to protect his spiritual consciousness, Mao Qi's spiritual consciousness dantian sealed itself.
Mao Qi sat up and stretched. Just as he was about to go out and ask about the situation, there was a noise outside.
"Hutou Village Defense, there are still two days until the grain tax is paid. We will definitely pay the grain tax by then." Xiangshan struggled to get up from the bed and begged.
This man, who is called a tiger-headed man, has broad bones but a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
"You have to hand it in today. This is for defensive purposes." The tiger's head looked at Zhu'er with a squinting look, but his tone was particularly tough.
"Today, today we haven't gathered together yet." Zhu Xiu said weakly.
"If you don't raise enough, then use someone to pay for it." Hutou looked away, not hiding his covetousness for Zhu'er, and said viciously.
The dispute between Hutou and the Xiangshan family soon attracted many people to watch.
Hu Tou's tough attitude and ferocious momentum immediately made the Xiangshan family lose their opinion. However, in order to save her daughter, Zhu Xiu began to ask for help from the onlookers.
"Uncles and aunties, please lend me thirty spiritual crystals." Zhu Xiu cried and begged everyone.
But every time Zhu Xiu moved his eyes, everyone who saw him couldn't help but take a step back.
"Zhu Da, please lend me thirty spiritual crystals. Look at Zhu'er, I agree to marry Zhu'er to Zhu Da." Looking at the indifferent expressions of her neighbors, Zhu Xiu was extremely desperate. In despair, she had no choice but to turn to the former
Zhu Da's family proposed marriage to Zhu Er.
"Zhu Xiu, are you crazy? A lame person is worth thirty spiritual crystals?" Zhu Da went down the well with resentment.
"Zhu Da, I know you like Zhu'er, but you don't want Zhu'er to be raped by that bully." Zhu Xiu was already desperate, and her words lacked thought.
"What did you say!" Hutou was irritated by Zhu Xiu's words. He raised his hand and wanted to hit someone. However, when he thought of his own identity and the possible identity of the other person, he still held back. After all, there were so many people and it would be harmful to hit someone.
The image of his own village defense, and if Zhu Er agrees to it, beating his father-in-law will also damage the image of the village defense.
Seeing Hu Tou raise his fist, Zhu Xiu was so frightened that she quickly hugged her husband and shrank aside, crying helplessly in a low voice.
"Just as I am benevolent and righteous, after you let Zhu'er follow me, this year's grain tax will be waived." Hutou retracted his fist and showed false compassion. "Otherwise, I will arrest your whole family and send them to the battlefield.
Become a food transport slave."
Hutou's threat made Zhu Xiu not even dare to cry. The family huddled in the corner, preparing to accept their fate with fear. Slaves who transported food could never return, and once they were demoted to slaves, even if they survived, their ancestors would be
It's a slave.
The onlookers and the crowd expressed their attitudes with different looks and actions. When Hu Tou was still a bully, no one dared to mess with him. Now that he has become the village guard, they are even more intimidated.
Zhu Xiu looked at her former neighbors with pleading eyes, but no one could help her. Her desperate eyes finally fell on Zhu Er.
Seeing her mother's desperate eyes, her father's trembling body, her brother's frightened eyes, the neighbors' helpless attitude, and the ferocious expressions on their heads, Zhuer endured the fear and despair in her heart and slowly stood up.
After hearing the whole story clearly inside the house, Mao Qi was filled with indignation and rushed out of the house.
As soon as the tiger's triumphant smile appeared on his face, he was frightened away by a disheveled face with half of his butt exposed, like a savage.
He took two steps back in panic, and shouted with an angry expression: "This beggar appears out of nowhere!"
The sudden appearance of Mao Qi really startled the tiger, because he had a guilty conscience; for the neighbors watching around, the appearance of Mao Qi was a joke that could be discussed after dinner.
In an instant, there were a lot of comments. Only Zhu Er regarded him as his savior, because although the man in front of him was a bit sloppy, he could not stop the justice and confidence that exuded from his body.
"Hutou village defense!" Maoqi's voice was like a night owl. Hutou was so frightened that Hutou even took a few steps back, and even forgot about his own strength at the eighth level. At the same time, Maoqi himself was frightened, and for a long time
He didn't say anything, and to his surprise, even his voice changed.
Mao Qi's performance made the neighbors who were watching burst into laughter. They all thought that the beggar in front of them was probably a retard.
"I wonder if Xiangshan knows that there is a wild man hiding in the house." Zhu Da said in a strange tone.
After saying this, there was a burst of laughter.
"You're not wearing any pants, that's too bold." A neighbor picked up Zhu Da's topic and said with a laugh.
At this time, Mao Qi realized that he was only wearing one piece of clothing, and the length of the clothing only reached his butt. His scalp suddenly went numb and he was extremely embarrassed.
After a burst of ridicule from the surrounding people, Hu Tou also calmed down from his panic. His face was particularly gloomy, and he shouted loudly: "Shut up, everyone!"
After Hu Tou shouted loudly, everyone who had been teasing Mao Qi just now fell into silence.
"You're not a coward. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being rude. Tell me, how long have you been hiding in Xiangshan's house? Have you ever bullied Zhu'er and his wife?" The more he looked at Mao Qi's dress, the tiger's head appeared.
I felt more and more confident in my heart and found a reason to show off my power.??
